Chariots and horsemen, moving slow

Where purple garlands droop on poles.

Patres conscripti, crown his brow,

Who brought us from the golden East

This unimagined peerless beast!

Never has CÆSAR made our foes

Weep more than he has made us laugh;

He who divides the world in half

With the long shadow of his nose,

And bridges oceans with his staff,
